The Hot Mom's Handbook

March 1, 2011

Blogger and founder of The Hot Mom's Club Denay (The Hot Mom to Be Handbook, 2010, etc.) offers fun and useful advice for mothers of all ages.

Being a hot mom does not require string bikinis or flawless skin. A hot mom is confident, but she doesn't need to be a Supermom. Denay encourages readers to "step away from the June Cleaver ideal" and uncover their passions. Her tone is upbeat and inspiring, but the author doesn't provide just another pie-in-the-sky advice book. The narrative is packed with practical ideas, products and websites to address the needs of moms of all budgets and backgrounds and help them recover the balance and fun in life. Some suggestions are filed in the "stuff to drool over" category, such as the pricey Westside Nannies service, but Denay is sure to include low-cost ideas as well, like treating oneself to a wardrobe makeover at American Apparel. The author is no stranger to the exhaustion of motherhood, and she offers inventive ideas for mothers looking to carve out time for themselves or even spice up their sex lives. But before hitting the bedroom, readers should take full advantage of Denay's easy, homegrown beauty tips, like her brown-sugar and olive-oil bath exfoliant. The author also includes a list of blogs for connecting with other moms and suggestions for fun activities with the kids.

Spirited and helpful guide that will bring out the beauty and confidence in every mother.
